Sometimes you need to slow down ... and other times you need to give yourself a kick up the 🍑 and get into gear!
.
Life is a delicate balance- finding and maintaining that balance can be super hard (illusion shatterer right here- most Yoga teachers also struggle with it)! 🤷🏻‍♀️
.
I find it hard to slow down, switch off, “chill out” if you wanna call it that. The truth is I get bored. If I’m just lazing around I start to think that I could be working or doing something more productive 👩🏻‍💻
.
But I also know that sometimes I need to slow down before my body or mind forces me to- which is far less pleasant than making the decision myself 😳
.
Maybe this weekend you could commit to yourself to allocate a slot of time to just slow right down, do nothing if that’s what feels right. Or if like me nothingness can be a challenge maybe go for a gentle walk, take a bath, read 10 pages of that book you never have time for 🛀 📚
.
If however you feel you’ve been on a go slow and need a bit of motivation then why not commit to a project or task and taking 1 hour minimum of time to focus on that. Get rid or leave all other distractions and get that 🍑 in gear!
.
Last weekend I had a little slow down and spent time with my family at the Lakes. I did a bit of work, but enjoyed less pressure and a much slower pace for a few days- it was just what I needed ❤️
.
What are you in need of right now? The slow down or the step up? 🙏🏼

I know a lot of people struggle with ⁣
⁣
⭐️ MOTIVATION ⭐️⁣
⁣
And to be honest team... motivation isn’t as special as everyone thinks...👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻⁣
⁣
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a very important tool for us to still work on⁣
⁣
The thing with motivation is that NONE of us just HAVE IT... we have to GENERATE IT⁣
⁣
Just like a power plant doesn’t just have energy, it has to be generated. Motivation is the SAME. So to generate your motivation you have to understand your WHY⁣
⁣
👉🏻Why are doing something?⁣
👉🏻Why do you need to be healthy?⁣
⁣
Internalizing and understanding your WHY is the best way to generate motivation ⁣
⁣
🧐NOW⁣
⁣
That doesn’t mean we are going to be connected with our why every single day and motivated every single day. We all have off days where we ⁣
⁣
😣JUST DONT FEEL LIKE DOING SOMETHING😣⁣
⁣
Right?!⁣
⁣
On these days... I think it’s SOOOOO important to NOT rely on motivation because (clearly) there isn’t any⁣
⁣
On these days, we need to rely on....⁣
⁣
💪🏻DISCIPLINE💪🏻⁣
⁣
Discipline allows us to still do something even though we don’t feel like it⁣
⁣
If we rely solely on motivation and skip the gym every time we “don’t feel like going.” That’s going to add up to a collection of days that you can’t get back....⁣
⁣
We have to still push ourselves to follow through DESPITE not feeling like it⁣
⁣
We all have days of not feeling like doing something... you aren’t alone here! But this feeling is temporary and let me tell you something team...⁣
⁣
Regret lasts a lot longer than those “I don’t feel like it” moments ⁣
⁣
You got this⁣

Every day isn’t perfect..I was pissed and frustrated with my kids yesterday..this girl will not nap. I am a mom who is doing her best..
.
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed..didn’t matter how much I read and stopped to take minute to just breathe and be grateful.
.
I was a complete bitch. I called my husband and told him to come home because I needed time away. .
Made things a little better..but then I see this and feel like a complete ass.
.
This girl 💗enjoys her workouts with her mom and just wants to be part of it. .
Every day I am grateful but I do not enjoy every single moment. I mean who does? Parenting is hard and trying to take care yourself on time that is even harder. .
Being a good mom in the only way possible is showing her how to take care herself. .
Not every day is like this..there is yelling and crying, and pure frustration of her being in the way.

I am so happy to have had this guy by my side for the last four and and a half years and cannot even believe that in just 50 days I will officially be his wife.
I’m so excited to continue this adventure of ours together and to celebrate our next step with all of our friends and family!
Cheers to a life full of hand holding, laughter, and adventures 💕 at Thirsty Owl Wine Company

A scene from my week. Silver alpaca kotori which is now in Daylesford being worn by a little baby called June, notes on obligation after listening to the @ideasatthehouse podcast with @sorayachemaly and wandering around for days in a cloud of rage and indignation I didn’t know I owned, and unseen acoustics courtesy of Pearl and our daily discussions on all things food, playdough, coffee, and all sorts of other crazy shit that can only occur in extended conversations with three year olds.

Each adventure with you
Big or small;
Easy or hard;
I’m so glad I get to walk each of them with you! Thank you for being my forever to walk this blessed life.❤️ I Love you!🥰

“As you listen to that voice in your head, that voice becomes your best or worst coach. Nobody will coach you more than that voice. If that voice was projected over the loud speaker, would you be proud?” - Ben Bergeron
The voice inside your head will rule your day. It second guesses what you know, it makes you feel inadequate, and sometimes encourages you to quit...but it also reaffirms you are on the right path, that you have earned every ounce of where you are, and pushes you beyond your limits. In workouts (and PA school) it’s easy to question if you’re doing it right, doing the absolute best, and lose track of reality. Keep to the voice in your head and make sure that voice is always in YOUR corner and have some FAITH - it might surprise you.
Featuring a 3 second pause front squats for a total wobble effect. Deliberate repetitive practice of form and breathing.

TGIF....Double tap if your ready for a 3 day weekend💪😊🙌.
.
.
.
Memorial Day weekend's here...I'm ready but I know how long holiday weekends can throw us off track.
.
.
.
Few quick tips to stay on track....
.
.
.
1. Plan ahead...with BBQ and summer time almost here, it's easy to over eat. Grill leaner cuts of meat (chicken, bison, fish). Add some grilled veggies...enjoy.
.
.
.
2. Alcohol...🍺🍺🍺🍻. I know it's fun to hang out and throw back a few but you can easily throw away all your weekly progress with excessive alcoholic calories. Have 1 or two. Try a light beer. .
.
.
3. Stay active...hanging out with family and friends? Incorporate some fun fitness activities...a game of softball, volleyball, basketball, etc. .
.
.
If you need a more challenging workout...join me Monday @worldgymingrampark. We will be running a hero workout (Murph) @ 11 AM. Check out my stories for more info.
.
.
.
Let's get it.💥 BOOM!💥

Dedication, discipline, commitment and consistency. 🖤
That’s what it takes. I say this to you but I’ve failed now and so many times before. This pic was taken about a month ago where I had a great balance in life. It was nowhere near where I wanted to be but I was finally making visible progress. I’m not able to lift heavy for another 4 weeks and with poor nutrition, I’ve ruined what I’ve been working for and now beating myself up. So disappointed with my lack of discipline. With me it’s either nothing or everything (if u can relate), if I had a cheat meal it would turn into a cheat day and a cheat week.. I can’t have more than 2 days off from working out otherwise I stop going completely and this is not healthy at all. I do believe it’s 70% diet 30% exercise but I work out because it’s my me time. We’ve all been there so trying to reflect, be mindful, not compare myself to others and never quit, just wish I committed when I said I would. And with the whole social media nowadays as much as it’s motivating, inspiring and has lots of info on anything it is so depressing at the same time! My Next goal is to find a life balance and have a good relationship with food, think of it as fuel instead. To lean out while maintaining as much muscle as possible and seriously stop comparing myself to others! I want to start counting macros to the gram! Will prob set up a fitness account soon!
A bit of a rant instead of the usual song lyrics 🤣 not that u’re interested but know we should appreciate each step of the journey. The time to be the best version of yourself is now 💪🏽 (gravity is secretly doing its job 🤣😏) .
Ps if anyone knows where I can get a DEXA scan done in Berks/London please let me know 😍🙈

Exchange // for many folks, we are headed into a long weekend. I know for most of the people I work with it’s a much needed break in the face of some longterm grueling obligations. 💰
Capitalism has seeded an environment that loves to convince us we are never working hard enough. That busy is noble. That taking a break is something to hide. That the mind can conquer the body’s limitations, and that we should somehow be able to push past our exhaustion. That we will be helpless and hopeless without more, more, more. That others are always the standard to which we should hold ourselves. 🌿
We all know that’s a bullshit structure, in our hearts. I beg of folks this weekend: give your brain and body a break. Ask someone for help or support on at least one thing. Practice receiving and revitalization instead of always giving your resources (time, money, energy) out. You are strong enough to go it alone, but none of us are meant to do that. 🌻
I have my own work to do in this realm, balancing my giving and receiving, as well as learning vs developing new things. It’s a tidal flow, back and forth, and it’s difficult to keep it even. But cheers to three days to give it a shot. 😘 #sixofpentacles#tarotmusings#tarotcommunity#capitalismkills#findingbalance#boundariesandresources

I often feel as if I have the weight of the world on my shoulders. 🌎 Well, my children are my world, so it’s pretty much true. I fought hard to have them and I would do anything for them, so why is it that I tend to hide or slack off when an opportunity presents itself for me to make their lives even better.
——
My motivation has been called out this week, and it’s weighing heavily on my mind. Like, REALLY HEAVY! I spend about 18 hours of every day awake. Of those 18, between working out, our commute to and from school/work, getting everyone fed (minus my husband- he can fend for himself 😉), and then trying to working my side biz... I *maybe* get an hour to myself. Maybe. And then I get just enough sleep to where I am able to function (my morning workouts & healthy eating plan help with my energy levels). Between dance and soccer, aside from the occasional holiday or sick day, my husband and I have not had a Saturday morning off in almost 4 years (lucky for us though, we’re FINALLY taking this summer off!!).😱
——
Guys, it’s tough! And this is not me complaining... I’m simply calling myself out! As hard as I am working, I am STILL not working hard enough!! Is there anyone out there who can relate to me?!? I know there’s a way to give my family the life we deserve without having to pull my hair out each and every day... because I’ve seen it happen for other normal, introverted, dreamers like myself. And I WANT THAT LIFE! I want to be able to DREAM BIG and see those dreams come to life.
——
I previously said my motivation was called out this week. Someone told to wake up every morning, look my kids in the eyes, and tell them “you are not worth it.” ... ... ... 👀. Yeah... so that’s not gonna happen, and even though I have no idea what I’m doing, GAME ON! 🙌🏻. Who’s playing along with me? at Columbus, Ohio

Whatever you do, be authentically you.⠀
⠀
Staying true to yourself is never easy, especially in the society that we live in now. Sometimes, I find myself doing things or saying things and I realize that it's not truly who I am. When that happens, I take a step back and look at what is going on. Then I change directions and follow who I am. ⠀
⠀
I'm naturally a silly person (Thanks to all my younger siblings who have to be entertained). Sarcasm is second nature to me, and I think like is better when you are happy. I enjoy looking at the bright side and always being kind. Most importantly, I love fiercely and with my whole heart. ⠀
⠀
Finding yourself is a big life journey that never really ends. But isn't it really about the adventure of the journey rather than the destination?

Last week I posted a quote from Oprah Winfrey that links with today's quote. It mentioned that we should "stop colluding with a culture that makes so many of us feel physically inadequate" We should also "Say goodbye to your inner critic, and take this pledge to be kinder to yourself and others."⠀
⠀
I believe the same is true for our hopes, dreams, goals, visions, and passions. They're masterpieces and works in progress at the same time too.⠀
⠀
Although my ultimate goals have pretty solid foundations, the steps I planned to take change after daily. I know I'm striving towards the same goal, but I also understand that I'll make changes along the way. And there's nothing wrong with that. I know I'm not failing if I don't stick to the plan.⠀
⠀
Life is full of lessons and has a funny way of taking you down an unexpected paths.⠀
⠀
I love learning and enjoy developing new skills. I want to be productive, get better at what I do and help others. This is me at my happiest. I guess that is what drew me towards becoming a Teacher and Health Coach. ⠀
⠀
On the flip side, I've felt the self-imposed pressure of not being perfect. The crippling feeling of nothing I'm doing is right. I know how damaging it can be.⠀
⠀
There's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to better yourself, but you MUST balance your self-motivation and drive with self-compassion, acceptance and appreciation for who you are NOW. ⠀
⠀
So continue to work on your masterpieces! Continue to dream, create, build, learn and grow. Never stop. Never quit. When you fall or fail, get up and start again. Continue and enjoy your journey. Reflect and adapt your plans as you see fit. Remember we are all perfectly imperfect.⠀
⠀
You got this,⠀
⠀
